Ossi Oswalda (born Oswalda Amalie Anna Stäglich, 2 February 1898[1] – 7 March 1947) was a German actress, who mostly appeared in silent films, many of which were early films of German filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch. Her characters were often eccentric, spoiled, and child-like. Oswalda was given the nickname 'The German Mary Pickford' due to her popularity at the time.[2]
